In case you missed the film on Nickelodeon, all the old characters will be back with the original voice actors, according to a release from Nickelodeon. Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling centers on the characters coming back to Earth after being lost in space since the show ended in 1996.
"Rocko has trouble accepting this 21st century modern life, while Heffer and Filburt embrace every aspect of new technology, social media and the endless diversity of food trucks. Rocko whole-heartedly believes that his nostalgia for the past can save him from the tortures of the modern world," the press release said.
